V. Ozola et al., SYNTHESIS OF DERIVATIVES OF 3-METHYLXANTHINE AND 1-METHYL-3-ISOBUTYLXANTHINE 7-BETA-D-RIBOFURANOSIDES, Nucleosides & nucleotides, 17(9-11), 1998, pp. 1983-1986
Methods of synthesis of yl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-8-chloro-3-methylxant
hine (5a) and 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine (5b) were reported. Further
nucleophilic displacement of chlorine has provided the corresponding 8
-alkylamino and 8-benzylamino derivatives (6a,b-9a,b). Several 5'-acyl
analogues of 3-methylxanthine-7-beta-D-ribofuranoside (15-18) were sy
nthesized using propylidene-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-3-methylxanthine (10
) as intermediate.
